Due to Shu Pan’s rejection, Gu Shaoting felt restless all day long. He couldn’t muster enthusiasm for anything.

One day, after finishing work, Shu Pan hurried to the kindergarten to pick up Joy. Joy didn’t seem to be in good spirits that day, and Shu Pan was worried that she might be sick.

When she arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher informed her that Joy had a slight fever and was feeling down.

Shu Pan was extremely concerned. She touched Joy’s forehead, and it felt warm. “Mom, I’m not feeling well,” Joy said weakly and kept asking Shu Pan to hold her.

Desperate to help her daughter, Shu Pan comforted Joy while heading to the pharmacy to buy some medicine. The autumn air was chilly, and Shu Pan unconsciously held Joy tightly, feeling that the whole world was in her arms.

While walking forward, Shu Pan received a call from Gu Shaoting. “Panpan, where are you and Joy? Why haven’t you come home yet?”

Evidently, Gu Shaoting was already near her home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known they weren’t home yet.

“Well… Joy has a slight fever, and I’m taking her to buy some medicine,” Shu Pan didn’t hide anything from Gu Shaoting.

“In which location are you? I’ll come to find you,” Gu Shaoting asked with immediate concern when he heard that Joy wasn’t feeling well. He started walking in the direction of the pharmacy as he spoke on the phone.

“We’re planning to buy medicine at the pharmacy near the intersection just ahead of the kindergarten,” Shu Pan replied, her voice slightly strained as she was panting for breath.

“Wait for me at the intersection. I’m almost there,” Gu Shaoting said while heading towards the pharmacy.

Shu Pan paused for a moment, her arms tired from carrying Joy. As they stood at the intersection to rest, a car without a license plate suddenly sped toward them. The car seemed out of control and didn’t respond to the driver. “Panpan, be careful!” In the nick of time, Gu Shaoting rushed over, pushed Shu Pan out of the way, and there was a loud “bang.” Gu Shaoting’s body fell straight to the ground in front of Shu Pan.

Seeing that they had hit a person, the car quickly reversed and sped away.

“Gu Shaoting, how are you?” Shu Pan was terrified, her face pale as she quickly put down Joy and ran to Gu Shaoting’s side.

Gu Shaoting lay there with his eyes closed, completely still. Shu Pan called out to him loudly, but there was no response. Suddenly, she noticed a puddle of blood on the ground and gasped for breath.

She shakily took her phone out of her pocket and dialed 120. Meanwhile, Joy was standing beside her, crying. “Mom, is Uncle Gu going to die?”

“Uncle Gu is a good person, he’ll be fine,” Shu Pan said to Joy while attempting to comfort herself as well. She was extremely frightened.

She couldn’t believe what would have happened if Gu Shaoting hadn’t pushed her and Joy out of harm’s way. She had just noticed that the car had no license plate, and it was heading in their direction. Was it an accident or intentional? She couldn’t quite figure it out.

At the moment, the most crucial thing was to take care of Gu Shaoting. The rest could be dealt with later.

Fortunately, an ambulance from a nearby hospital arrived quickly. Doctors carefully lifted the unconscious Gu Shaoting into the ambulance.

Shu Pan got into the ambulance with Joy, looking at Gu Shaoting’s pale, lifeless face. Her fear was growing by the minute..
